Abstract

Sales per capita (per number of employees) of the 2000 Forbes Magazine top publicly-traded companies (G-2000) and some of the world’s leading state-owned enterprises (SOE) are statistically analyzed. This hybrid or combined cumulative probability sales distribution per capita exhibits a two-class structure: a Pareto power law in the higher part and exponential in the lower part resembling a Boltzmann–Gibbs distribution, where money is conserved in economic trade like energy is conserved in elastic collisions. This global per capita sales two-class distribution is qualitatively similar to income and wealth distributions in many countries around the world.
